Tyler Herro is more mentally tough than Jimmy Butler

Tyler Herro was a centerpiece in trade rumors for like 3 straight years and knew he wasn’t considered untouchable. What did he do? He worked on his game. He got in the gym. He showed up ready to contribute, not just to prove himself, but to elevate the team.

Mental toughness isn’t just about dominating on the court or playing with grit—it’s about how you handle pressure, criticism, and uncertainty. Herro didn’t sulk or slack off; he focused on getting better. Butler, as great as he is, seemed more interested in proving he didn’t need to meet anyone’s expectations but his own.
